The question pertains to a series of high school physics performance tasks, which include practical experiments and theoretical application exercises designed to foster a deeper understanding of physics principles.
Explanation:The excerpts provided relate to several physics-related performance tasks that focus on concepts such as elastic and inelastic collisions, simple machines, Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, and Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. For example, a performance task might require designing an experiment to measure the mechanical advantage and efficiency of simple machines, or explaining the importance of molecular-level structure in the functioning of designed materials in a specific industry. These tasks appear to be part of a high school physics curriculum and involve hands-on activities, critical thinking, and the application of theoretical principles to real-world contexts.
Tasks like these are essential in cultivating a practical understanding of physics principles and their applications. Through such tasks, students develop skills in research, investigation, and communication, all of which are quintessential for a successful career in science or engineering.

The passage below is the first of Satan's speeches. It takes place immediately after he and his rebellious angels are cast out of heaven and he finds himself sitting in Hell beside Beelzebub, his number two.
from BOOK I (Lines 72-156)
In utter darkness, and their portion set
As far removed from God and light of Heaven
As from the center thrice to the utmost pole.
Oh how unlike the place from whence they fell!
There the companions of his fall, overwhelmed
With floods and whirlwinds of tempestuous fire,
He soon discerns, and weltering by his side
One next himself in power, and next in crime,
Long after known in Palestine, and named
Beelzebub. To whom the arch-enemy,
And thence in Heaven called Satan, with bold words
Breaking the horrid silence thus began.
If thou beest he; But oh how fallen! how changed
From him, who in the happy realms of light
Clothed with transcendent brightness didst outshine
Myriads though bright: If he whom mutual league,
United thoughts and counsels, equal hope
And hazard in the glorious enterprise,
Joined with me once, now misery hath joined
In equal ruin: into what pit thou seest
From what heighth fallen, so much the stronger proved
He with his thunder: and till then who knew
The force of those dire arms? yet not for those,
Nor what the Potent Victor in his rage
Can else inflict, do I repent or change,
Though changed in outward luster; that fixed mind
And high disdain, from sense of injured merit,
That with the mightiest raised me to contend,
And to the fierce contention brought along
Innumerable force of spirits armed
That durst dislike his reign, and me preferring,
His utmost power with adverse power opposed
In dubious battle on the plains of Heaven,
And shook his throne. What though the field be lost?
All is not lost; the unconquerable will,
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield:
And what is else not to be overcome?
That glory never shall his wrath or might
Extort from me. To bow and sue for grace
With suppliant knee, and deify his power,
Who from the terror of this arm so late
Doubted his empire, that were low indeed,
That were an ignominy and shame beneath
This downfall; since by fate the strength of gods
And this empyreal substance cannot fail,
Since through experience of this great event
In arms not worse, in foresight much advanced,
We may with more successful hope resolve
To wage by force or guile eternal war
Irreconcilable, to our grand Foe,
Who now triumphs, and in the excess of joy
Sole reigning holds the tyranny of Heaven.
So spake the apostate angel, though in pain,
Vaunting aloud, but racked with deep despair:
And him thus answered soon his bold Compeer.
Oh Prince, Oh chief of many throned powers,
That led the embattled seraphim to war
Under thy conduct, and in dreadful deeds
Fearless, endangered Heaven’s perpetual King;
And put to proof his high supremacy,
Whether upheld by strength, or chance, or fate,
Too well I see and rue the dire event,
That with sad overthrow and foul defeat
Hath lost us Heaven, and all this mighty host
In horrible destruction laid thus low,
As far as gods and heavenly essences
Can perish: for the mind and spirit remains
Invincible, and vigor soon returns,
Though all our glory extinct, and happy state
Here swallowed up in endless misery.
But what if he our Conqueror, (whom I now
Of force believe Almighty, since no less
Then such could have overpowered such force as ours)
Have left us this our spirit and strength entire
Strongly to suffer and support our pains,
That we may so suffice his vengeful ire,
Or do him mightier service as his thralls
By right of war, what e're his business be
Here in the heart of Hell to work in fire,
Or do his errands in the gloomy deep;
What can it then avail though yet we feel
Strength undiminished, or eternal being
To undergo eternal punishment?
Whereto with speedy words the arch-fiend replied.

Sympathy
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
I KNOW what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals -
I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting -
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, -
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings -
I know why the caged bird sings!
An Account of an Experience With Discrimination
by Sojourner Truth
A few weeks ago I was in company with my friend Josephine S. Griffing, when the conductor of a streetcar refused to stop his car for me, although (I was) closely following Josephine and holding on to the iron rail. They dragged us a number of yards before she succeeded in stopping them. She reported the conductor to the president of the City Railway, who dismissed him at once, and told me to take the number of the car whenever I was mistreated by a conductor or driver. On the 13th I had occasion to go for necessities for the patients in the Freedmen's Hospital where I have been doing and advising for a number of months. I thought now I would get a ride without trouble as I was in company with another friend, Laura S. Haviland of Michigan. As I ascended the platform of the car, the conductor pushed me, saying "Go back--get off here." I told him I was not going off, then "I'll put you off" said he furiously, clenching my right arm with both hands, using such violence that he seemed about to succeed, when Mrs. Haviland told him he was not going to put me off. "Does she belong to you?" said he in a hurried angry tone. She replied, "She does not belong to me, but she belongs to humanity." The number of the car was noted, and conductor dismissed at once upon the report to the president, who advised his arrest for assault and battery as my shoulder was sprained by his effort to put me off. Accordingly I had him arrested and the case tried before Justice Thompson. My shoulder was very lame and swollen, but is better. It is hard for the old slaveholding spirit to die. But die it must....

Answer:
B) with the main character as an 85-year old man, deep in thought about everything he has been through over the course of his life.
Explanation:
It would make the most sense to start the story like this in order to show that the story will be about this one character who is reaching the end of his life and who will consequently evaluate and ponder the main events that he experienced in his life.
In fact, one of the greatest novels of all time, In search of lost time, by Proust, in basic terms begins this way as the narrator ponders the reminiscence that a single sensations brings about, thus setting forward a seven book long narrative about his long life.

Behind through the soft air the blue haze-cradled mountains spread away.in this line,haze-cradled means.A.drenched by rain.B.gilded in color.C.supported by cold.D.surrounded by mist.
Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the D) Surrounded by mist.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this excerpt from his poem "A Summer Night," the 19th-century British poet Matthew Arnold is describing a thought or a memory "of a past night" spent in the countryside outdoors. Behind some houses, "through the soft air," he remembers having seen the "blue haze-cradled mountains spread away." If the mountains were symbolically cradled, they were embraced, held, or surrounded by haze, which is a phenomenon very similar to mist—haze is the suspension of minuscule dry particles in the air, and mist is the suspension of water droplets.

Finish the sentence with the word resistance. To avoid getting sick
There are many ways you can use this word, but ultimately, you need to develop a resistance to the germs in order avoid getting sick. The answer you have been given does not use the word correctly (although A for the effort). I would write it as, "To avoid getting sick, one must develop a resistance to the germs or virus that is causing the illness."
There are numerous ways to use this phrase, but ultimately, the only way to stay healthy is to build up a resistance to the viruses. The response you were provided incorrectly uses the word (although A for the effort). To avoid getting sick, one must build up a resistance to the bacteria or virus that is producing the illness, is how I would phrase it.
What is resistance?The obstruction to current flow in an electrical circuit is measured by resistance. The Greek letter omega () represents the unit of measurement for resistance, known as ohms. Georg Simon Ohm (1784–1854), a German physicist who investigated the connection between voltage, current, and resistance, is the name given to the unit of resistance.
The degree to which an object obstructs or resists an electric current is referred to as resistance. The movement of electrons is referred to as electric current. Consider the scenario of a person navigating a busy market and encountering difficulty moving from one shop to another to better understand resistance.
Thus, There are numerous ways to use this phrase, but ultimately, the only way to stay healthy is to build up a resistance.

King’s use of repetition in the excerpt stresses his
desire for political power.
deep religious faith.
plea for peaceful action.
physical strength.
Answer:
plea for peaceful strength
Explanation:
In the passage King talks about physical violence and physical force. The purpose of this repetition is to discourage the use of physical violence or force in order to meet their goals. King has no desire for political power. They do not show any deep religious faith. He also does not use this repetition to encourage the use of physical strength.
Martin Luther King’s use of repetition in his speeches served to underscore his plea for peaceful action and racial equality. The repetition emphasized his desire for a future where all individuals are treated equitably, irrespective of their race.
Explanation:The subject of this question is Martin Luther King's use of rhetorical devices in his speeches, specifically the technique of repetition. The statement implies that the repeated use of certain phrases or ideas by King would emphasize or stress a particular facet of his ideology or motivation. Given the context of King as a civil rights leader advocating nonviolent resistance, the most probable answer is that the repetition is used to stress his 'plea for peaceful action'. King's speeches often involved phrases such as 'I have a dream' and 'Let freedom ring,' which reiterate his desire for peaceful racial equality, not political power or physical strength. While his speeches indicate deep religious faith, the primary purpose of the repetition is to underscore his call for Tranquility and justice.

d. figurative language
i will give the brainliest answer to the person that explains their answer with the best reasoning
In the passage, the author makes use of a. Vivid details and d. Figurative language to convey an effective narrative that makes the difference from just providing information.
Through the use of figurative language, such as allusions, metaphors and simile, powerful imagery about Anne Hutchinson is conveyed upon the reader. Words such as "breeder", "nourisher", "sower" have different meanings than usual, also comparisons such as "more bold than a man" conceive singular images in the reader's mind. And all constitute vivid details that make the difference, in which they create innovative perceptions and insights.
Answer:
D. Figurative Language
Explanation:
The use of the words breeder and nourisher implies that she is growing and raising the "county's distempers", when in reality she is not explicitly "breeding" or "nourishing" anything. This is a use of figurative language, which means that although there are vivid details, figurative language is the best answer.

"Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!"4 A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. A man who had been soaked in water, and smothered in mud, and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and stung by nettles, and torn by briars; who limped, and shivered, and glared and growled; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin.5 "O! Don't cut my throat, sir," I pleaded in terror. "Pray don't do it, sir."6 "Tell us your name!" said the man. "Quick!"7 "Pip, sir."8 "Once more," said the man, staring at me. "Give it mouth!"9 "Pip. Pip, sir."10 "Show us where you live," said the man. "Pint out the place!"11 I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church.12 The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread. When the church came to itself - for he was so sudden and strong that he made it go head over heels before me, and I saw the steeple under my feet - when the church came to itself, I say, I was seated on a high tombstone, trembling, while he ate the bread ravenously.13 "You young dog," said the man, licking his lips, "what fat cheeks you ha' got."14 I believe they were fat, though I was at that time undersized for my years, and not strong.1
Which description is of the man in the graveyard?
A) crying B) hungry C) fat cheeks D) undersized
Answer:
Its i B, My friends because I just had it on usatestprep and it was right
Explanation:
The correct option is B. The man in the graveyard is hungry.
The description of the man in the graveyard is given in paragraph 4, where it is mentioned that he seized the narrator by the chin and threatened to cut his throat if he did not keep still. The man is described as fearful, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg, no hat, broken shoes, and an old rag tied around his head.
He had been through many harsh conditions, such as being soaked in water, smothered in mud, lamed by stones, cut by flints, stung by nettles, and torn by briars. He is depicted as someone who limps, shivers, glares, growls, and whose teeth chatter. The man's actions of turning the narrator upside down, emptying his pockets, and eating the bread ravenously further emphasize his hunger.
